What does that have to do with ARCADE CONTROLS?

[planetjay]

OK let's try again.... It is a clear violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. And therefore, NO!

There are plenty of DreamCast and hacking sites out there. Try one.

And one more thing.... You are jumping up and down on some people's last nerve.... I'd stop.

I'm glad to see that HowardC & I aren't the only ones....  Some people just don't have a clue.

Hey, I think we all need to chill out a bit!!!

The whole point of this board is to exchange information and Snaaake is one of the main contributors these days.

He gets a lot of hassle when be posts something that may be illegal/unethical or whatever, but he doesn't get any credit when he posts useful information.

[x-wing]

Large number of posts does not = large contribution.  Believe me, I've been around the BYOAC for a number of years now (under different handles), and this is true more often than it isn't.  If you watch closely, you'll see that the people that post infrequently typically give better and more accurate information than the ones with 100, 200, 300 posts behind their name.

Good examples of some people I have learned the most from are Tom61, Oscar, JustMichael, and a few others over the years.  And you'll also see that they are not the ones that feel compelled to reply to every post.

Occasionally a newbie comes along and will rack up 100+ posts in a month or two and it kinda upsets the flow of the board, as well as some of it's long time members.  This is not unusual, but a few corrective posts like PJ's will sometimes bring the newbie into check and then they will become a more productive member, and sometimes not.  It's up to them.

Anyone remember when HowardC first came onboard some time ago?  Now Howard is among one of the more respected members of the BYOAC, and I value his opinion on some topics more than anyone else's.

My $.02 on that.

Me, respect??  Nah, you must be thinking of someone else, no one respects me.

I also want you guys to remember the h8ll you gave me before I started taking your criticism to heart.  Although some of us have been hard on snaake I think it's necessary sometimes.  The only way to stop mis-information is to correct it as it comes in.  You'll notice that I indescriminately shoot down ideas from anyone.  This isn't to be mean or an a$$hole but when falsehoods are repeatd enough they are taken as fact, and that's a very bad thing for this hobby.  

Anyway I'm getting off topic here.  Snake it was good for you to ask instead of just posting, but I think your a bit confused as to the nature of this baord.  

We only post hardware pretaining to projects that involve arcade controls.  We only post software that is pretaining to arcade control interfaces, emulators, and front-ends.  The only reason we frown upon highly off-topic posts is because there are plenty of good places elsewhere on the net at which such posts would be beter appreciated while here they may not even get a second thought.  

It's the same reason why people don't post pics of cars here.  Nobody cares about their car, it may be a prefectly nice car, but this is an arcade controls message board and thus people don't want to see cars on this board.(at least the majority won't)

you are right...i did help...but i only get whatever BS from people(WE ALL KNOW WHO I AM TALKING ABOUT HERE)..thanks for pointing that out grasshoper..

atleast someone understands that i am not the bad guy here.

[SirPoonga]

SNAAAKE, you may give useful info once and awhile.  But early on and once of awhile now you insult alot.  I know your first few posts started out as "NO OFFENSE BUT..."  And what you said afterwards was quite insulting.

You are mellowing out it appears...

Thanks for the intro...

I have no doubt that you will become a welcome contributor, if you stick with it.  An ambitious attitude can yield great results, look at Howard for example.    The important thing is to temper your ambitiousness to help with a bit of courtesy, understanding, and humor.

Nobody is calling you names, but you have called others stupid and dumb when they have had simple questions or didn't understand your replies.

Because of the private sidebar that you initiated with me (in which I defended myself violently), I am fairly certain that this post will fall on deaf ears, but at least I'm trying.

Snaaack, Need I repeat myself?

[SNAAAKE]

oookay the answer to this post could have been very simple such as >> NO you cant post the guide.
End of story.

and i asked ONLY admins(remember i posted"hey admins" that if its possible..now no one else is an admin here except Planetjay.now normally i dont expect lots of stories from people with irrelevant comments regarding this post.everyone's comment does not belong here.so if you have comments then send private.thats why private message system is here for.we gotta use it right.

but nooooooo....everyone has somthing negative to say.
i request a DELETE of this post. and again..ONLY admins  should reply(if you decide to delete or not)...i dont need to know what everybody else has to say.

Sirpoonga,

i told you your cabinet i was cool looking and aren't you supposed to say "hey thanks for the compliment"but instead you bring up something else.i dont know what to say.

Where did I say you have insulted me directly?  I just said you have been insulting to people in the past, getting on peoples nerves.
